Apple's Redesigned Mac Pro is Coming in 2019 (theverge.com)

Apple's long-awaited update to the 2013 Mac Pro won't be released until sometime next year, the company told TechCrunch. From a report: We've known since a press roundtable in April 2017 that Apple was "completely rethinking" the Mac Pro, in the words of marketing chief Phil Schiller. Now, we have confirmation that the product is arriving next year after some speculation that it could make an appearance this year at a fall hardware event typically reserved for MacBook announcements.

"We want to be transparent and communicate openly with our pro community so we want them to know that the Mac Pro is a 2019 product. It's not something for this year," Tom Boger, Apple's senior director of Mac hardware product marketing, told TechCrunch. "In addition to transparency for pro customers on an individual basis, there's also a larger fiscal reasoning behind it."

    Velcro is not exotic or proprietary enough. They will use a patented, 3D printed, titanium, sintered, anodized clip with a custom bluetooth chip.

    It will be like they epoxied two mac-minis together. Nope. My prediction is it'll be pyramid shaped. They've done a cube. They've done a tube. This one will be a pyramid. Got to be! Nothing says innovation like a pyramid.
